As we continue to engage in the conversation about teaching and learning in the 21st Century, a critical conversation focuses first on this question: what does it mean to be well educated in the 21st Century? Inevitably, this leads to a student blueprint that makes it easier to discuss what teaching and learning look like in the 21st Century.

Last year, our 1st Annual Teachers Teaching Teachers mini-conference focused on these questions using Did You Know?




This year, we have used Learning to Change, Changing to Learn* to begin this discussion with parents, students, administrators, and teachers.



As we look to March 2nd, we need to continue thinking, challenging, and pushing the idea of teaching and learning in the 21st Century. The conversations have the potential for great depth and richness as we grow as a community proud of innovation with restriction!
